PHILOSOPHY, VALUES & OUR COMMUNITY
Be a philosopher for a day! Engage in a Socratic dialogue with your fellow Library patrons. Gain self-knowledge and mutual understanding as we clarify our values and collaborate to answer a big question. Our first dialogue will seek to answer the question, "What is fellowship?" The second will ask, "What is unity?" We will seek to think collectively and discover what we have in common by exploring our experiences. These important values are rarely discussed, but through these dialogues can be carefully investigated together in community. Finally we will convene for a third dialogue to discuss how unity and fellowship are in applied in our community of Lakewood.
Saturdays March 22, April 5 and April 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
